    Comrade: After my sister was adopted by her uncle when she was a child, she rarely went home to visit her biological parents. Not long ago, my parents were unfortunately killed in a car accident, and after dealing with the funeral, my sister proposed to inherit the inheritance of my biological parents with my younger brother and me.

    I believe that she has been adopted by her uncle and is no longer entitled to inherit the inheritance of her biological parents. Am I right? Comrade Ding Jun Ding Jun:

    Article 22 of China's Adoption Law clearly stipulates: "From the date of the establishment of the adoption relationship, the relationship of rights and obligations between adoptive parents and adoptive children shall be ,...... by applicable law on the relationship between parents and children."The relationship of rights and obligations between the adopted child and his or her biological parents and other close relatives shall be extinguished by the establishment of the adoption relationship. This means that once an adoptive relationship is established, there are two legal consequences:

    First, the relationship of rights and obligations between adoptive children and adoptive parents has been established; Second, the relationship of rights and obligations between adopted children and their biological parents has been eliminated. Therefore, your sister has been adopted by your uncle, and from the time she was adopted when she was young, the relationship of rights and obligations between her and her biological parents has basically been eliminated. As a result, she is generally no longer entitled to inherit the estate of her biological parents.

    However, there are two exceptions, where an adopted child may be entitled to a share of the inheritance of his or her biological parents. First, if the biological parents made a will before their death, giving part or all of their personal property to a child who has been adopted by another person to inherit it, then the adopted child has the right to receive the inheritance; Second, if the adopted child has fulfilled the obligation to support the adoptive parents and at the same time has more support for the biological parents, then the adopted child can also be based on Article 14 of the Inheritance Law: "In addition to the heirs.

    Legal Analysis: The estate of the adoptive parents can be inherited by the adoptive children. The relationship between the adoptive child and the adopter is a legally fictitious parent-child relationship, but the legal consequences of this fictitious relationship are equivalent to that of the blood relationship between the biological parents and children.

    Legal basis: Article 1123 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China After the commencement of inheritance, it shall be handled in accordance with the statutory inheritance; If there is a will, it shall be handled in accordance with the testamentary inheritance or bequest; Where there is a bequest and maintenance agreement, it shall be handled in accordance with the agreement. Article 1127 Inheritance shall be inherited in the following order:

    1) First order: spouse, children, parents; (2) Second order: siblings, grandparents, maternal grandparents.

    After the inheritance begins, it is inherited by the first-order heirs, and the second-order heirs do not inherit; If there is no first-order heir, the second-order heir shall inherit. For the purposes of this Part, the term "children" includes legitimate children, children born out of wedlock, adopted children and dependent stepchildren. For the purposes of this Part, the term "parents" includes biological parents, adoptive parents and step-parents in a dependent relationship.

    The term "siblings" as used in this Part includes siblings of the same parents, half-siblings or half-siblings, adoptive siblings, and step-siblings who have a dependent relationship.
